Went to the shoot yesterday. It was informal. Had a chance to fire the weapons. Previously only fired one about 20 years ago. I think I may have caught the bug. My sons enjoyed it as well. Thinking about the extra time in the woods for deer hunting. Liked the 50cal carbine by traditions, the deerhunter I think it was called, it used a percussion cap. Any thoughts on this rifle or others for a new black powder shooter. We were using pyrodex powder and balls that were cast by one of the shooters. Very accurate at short yds with 50 grains of powder.
